A D E A

I've seen the rain pouring down. The sky was grey with a speck of blue.

A D E A

Deep through a hole in the clouds, the sun was screaming' hey you.

A D E A

As you ramble through your sorrow, seems like everything come out wrong.

A D E A

I'm living in yesterday's tomorrow's, I know something's helping me along.

(RIFF 2)

Forgot it for now - I'll post it later

A D E

I'll take a melody and see what I can do about it.

A D E

I'll take a simple C to G and feel brand new about it.

F#m Bm F#m Bm C Bm C Bm C

I understand why the old mission men sail along, sail along, sail along.

D E

Someday he'll be gone

(RIFF 1)

A D E A

I hear you talking' 'bout your troubles. Everybody's got their troubles

too.

A D E A

You can make them burst like clouds, if you know just what to do.

A D E A

You know I've been called a dreamer. Dreams that never will come true.

A D E A

But I've been called so many things before. Tell you what I'm gonna do.
